Thank you for your prayers, encouragement and support. I am all of these things, and more, because of you. :-)
You are a star. a mere twinkle in the skies of poetry Hush. Repeat after me. I AM A STAR. if i am a star then why don't i feel like one yet? Hush. Repeat after me. I. AM! A. STAR. I. AM! A. STAR.
You are a Poet. my poems are drowned in an ocean of words Hush. Repeat after me. I AM A POET. if i am a poet then why don't i feel like one yet? Hush. Repeat after me. I. AM! A. POET. (Capital 'P,' please!) I AM! A. POET.
this is silly. what's the purpose in--
Hush. We're not through. Listen to me. Believe in yourself, and you can do anything.
You are a Light. yeah and my light burned out a long time ago Hush. Repeat after me. YOU ARE A LIGHT. if i am a light then why don't i feel like one yet??? Hush. Repeat after me. I. AM! A. LIGHT. I. AM! A. LIGHT.
You are a Reacher. my words? reaching someone? think you've got the wrong-- HUSH. Repeat after me. I AM A REACHER. if i am a reacher but why don't i feel like one yet? Hardheaded, are we? Repeat: I. AM! A. REACHER. I. AM! A. REACHER.
Do you feel any different? Do you feel the Power inside? You ARE a star. You ARE a Poet. You ARE a Light. You ARE a Reacher. You are anything you want to be. All you need is faith.
hey, yeah! i do feel...something...like it's wanting to burst free...
I. AM!! A. STAR. I. AM!! A. POET. I. AM!! A. LIGHT. I. AM!! A REACHER.

Beautiful! Uplifting! Inspiring, like the light that you are :-) You live up to your title and I am not surprised at all :-) Keep it up Lady of the Lights :-)
This is going with me to my poetry masterclass tomorrow, Karla! Thank you! Mega-mwahs! Have just come back from a writing weekend in which I faced my fear of reading in front of all the seasoned and "famous" writers on my course... and read them "Feet Smell"! Honest truth!! The worst thing is that some of THEM were even more nervous about reading in front of each other than I was!! So, Lady, it don't seem to get any easier for any of us - from the greatest to the least. BUT, we all NEED to hear and receive the truth of your very wise and encouraging words above: I AM...!!! Yes indeedy, Maam... you sure ARE!! Bless you, Kate xx
Karla, An AWESOME Pep talk! You've done good! Self-doubt. It's an ugly ugly feeling. But so many times we get stuck in it's rut and before we know it instead of continuing to try to get out we just simply lay down and die in it. It's sorrowful but it happens daily.
Great write Karla! Just great!
I have to agree with Lady A you are one of my favorites too, and soon you may be seeing your name in print, I finished getting the book together and your author bio's and it's off
God Bless

Thanks for the reminder, Karla. Much needed on those dry writers block days! Wonderfully positive poem! Good job!
Don't you EVER forget it, Karla! You are all these things and so much more!
Wonderful poem that shows your courage and will to go on in light of any circumstance! You are a winner in MY eyes, and your words just SHINE brighter than the Northern Lights! May they always continue TO do so! BRAVA!
Write on, and may your words reach many! You are too good of a writer to let some things stand in your way! May you have all your dreams come true; you are in my prayers, darlin'!

In "A Touch of Your Presence" are words that would inspire, encourage and strengthen one's soul when faced with challenges and difficulties and to know the awesomeness of God's power.
Positive statements and affirmations certainly contain a magical power...
